"Marcus's life changed dramatically when Aro brought home his newly turned younger sister, Didyme, along with the first members of the guard - vampires who were drawn to Didyme's aura of happiness. None of these early subordinates lasted more than a few centuries; they were still experimental at that point. Didyme's gift had always been with her, though subtler during her human years, and so she was used to many suitors."

Description

According to Stephenie Meyer, this power was only possessed by Didyme, Aro's younger sister, which made the Volturi members around her happy during her time of existence. But the most benefactor of this talent of hers was Marcus, one of the Volturi leaders, who became her mate. This power seemingly released an aura of happiness that naturally affected everyone around her wherever she went, and so people were easy to attach themselves to her.

Happiness induction also could bring happiness to Didyme, as well as those around her.

Post-transformation

After she became a vampire, this power manifested much more clearly, allowing those around her to be easily affected by her aura.

Jasper Hale's ability to manipulate others' emotions is in certain ways more powerful than Didyme's, because he can influence the emotions in any way he pleases. Like Didyme, his power only works while he is present.
